This is like the third story put out by the New York Times since Skrmetti rubbing transgender people's faces in it. The paper got the ruling it asked for.

Democrats: This isn’t our fault. It was transgender people. They’re the reason we lost. Transgender people: We literally have zero political power. There are only about 850,000 eligible transgender voters in the US. Democrats: Nope. It’s your fault. Transgender people: Here we go again.

So much for MAHA.

Seemingly lost in all of the NYT coverage is that what the Supreme Court did was effectively lower the evidentiary bar that state's have to meet to justify their bans. The lower courts that applied heightened scrutiny universally blocked the bans.

Well, this seems like a pretty topical day to read this essential nonfiction cut from @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.

BREAKING: US Marines deployed to Los Angeles have carried out the first known detention of a civilian, the US military confirms. It was confirmed to Reuters after they shared this image with the US military.

This is insane

Really hate this, to be totally honest with you. Hate that we have a government run by sociopaths and clowns dedicated to raising their public profile through cruelty. Hate the knowledge that the opposition party will never do anything to protect anybody, even themselves.

Brilliant move. Target places of employment, then act surprised when businesses can’t function. Genius leadership right there.

The “Black folk stay home” narrative being shoved across social media is coming from the Trump regime and affiliated MAGA networks. It’s a series of troll farms and collaborators working together to influence / manipulate US citizens away from protesting. It’s an operation.

If god is real I bet he does this a lot

once again, no, we should not nationalize starlink we should deorbit them all.

i love pride

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

81 years ago. When people still realised you have to fight fascism.

81 yrs ago today brave Americans & allies stormed beaches & parachuted into Normandy. They fought to liberate the world of fascism. They never would imagine that 81 yrs later we’d be facing a fascist tyrant occupying the White House. It’s time to fight like the greatest generation.

I've got a busy day ahead of me, of not being hated by the vast majority of my country. Also -- be sure to check out the livestream of my colleagues speaking for 100 hours up to the start of hurricane season to fight Trump. YT is burying it in the algo, direct link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdtI...

Americans think nothing bad will ever happen to them when something new and horrible happens to them every single day in the form of executive orders, court rulings, and laws passed.

1/ 🚨 Friends...IT'S CONTEST TIME!! Trauma queen Russ Vought is quietly gutting the federal government. Let’s make sure his name is *loudly* — and *unfondly* — remembered. Contest: redefine “Vought”: noun, verb, adjective — whatever hits. Eternal bragging rights await. 👇 #NaughtyVoughty #RussVoughted

Your periodic reminder that the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics - dating back through torture to Iran-Contra to Watergate all the way back to 1865 - is because there are never any actual consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics.

i understand everyone is upset but keep the actionable threats offline and keep any HRT logistics talk quietly on whisper networks (Signal) where journalists and the stasi can't see

They really are the worst people on the planet. Among the dumbest, but also the worst

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

Recording cops is a First Amendment right. Yes, even ICE. Yes, even outside federal buildings. No, they can’t steal your phone or delete your footage — unless they’ve got a warrant signed by an actual judge. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #nokings #FiftyFiftyOne #ImpeachTrump #knowyourrights

Donald Trump is the most corrupt government official in American history. That’s what happens when a felon gets elected.

Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It's surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.

The state of polarization in U.S. politics calls for a process of national referendums. Allowing U.S. citizens to place legislation on the ballot for national referendum or popular vote, enacting new, or voting down existing legislation, requiring a qualified majority to pass of 55-60% of votes…

Lol. LMAO, even. They won’t do shit.

This is making the rounds on Reddit. Obviously, doxxing is not ok.

Trump thinks Mattel is a country. And we know what happens when Ken tries to run things.

📣 Psssst. Stephen Miller is full of shit. 🗣️ Pass it on.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS the Trump administration’s unlawful reorganization of the federal government. Congratulations to @democracyforward.org, their co-counsel and clients on their amazing work in securing this victory.

When section F dropped everyone wanted me to help end it. I wanted a really good guidance so everyone could do this right. My fellow Alt did the deed and we have a great guidance on how to properly comment. No fucking around and shit posting here my #AltCitizens follow the directions below.

Living in the Trump administration is watching helplessly as evil people commit arson on science, healthcare, and the planet in irreversible ways that cause the mass death of millions.

Trump brushed away the concern of toy shortages or cost due to his tariffs saying that maybe children will have only 2 dolls instead of 30. That sounds like his "let them eat cake" moment and needs to be played up. Many families can't afford one toy in Trump's America.
